Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the tigures.

The object of the invention is to form letters of immortelle-flowers in an easy and expeditious manner. The Well-known and usual Way of forming such letters is by Wrapping the stem of the flowers with hair-wire on a stick or tooth-pick and then inserting the same in a iloral design, or by fastening the flowers to a wire and then bending the same to form the letter` desired, or by fastening the flowers with glue and wire to a pasteboard or Wooden frame of the desired shape. In our invention we employ letters or designs, as A,

Fig. 2 represents a perspectivev of the flowers, thus reliably holding them in place. When it is desired to remove the immortelles, the side projections maybe readily raised and the owers removed.

Having thus described ourl invention, what We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isf l. A letter or design formed of pliable material having perforations therein and pro vided with side proj eetions extending beyond the outer edges of the letter or design and adapted to be bent upon the main portion of the letter, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A letter or design consisting of a piece of material having perforations therein and provided -with angular side pieces extending beyond the outer edges of the letter or design and adapted to bend upon the same, substantially as and for the purpose described.
